Noteworthy facts about Tietjen

Air brake systems for Kubota tractors

Dipl.-Ing. Tietjen GmbH is the exclusive partner in the development of air brake systems for Kubota Holdings Europe B.V.

Kubota Holdings Europe B.V., based in the Netherlands, manages the entire industrial machinery business in Europe.
The tractors delivered from the manufacturing plant in Japan to Rotterdam are equipped in accordance with the customer’s wishes immediately after arrival and transported to the dealers or to Tietjen for the further equipment. Kubota (Deutschland) GmbH (KDG) is the German sales company of the Japanese KUBOTA Corporation. The Rodgau-based company sells tractors and industrial engines and is also involved in adapting tractors for the European trading area at holding level with its own development department. And this is why KDG is the link to Tietjen.


Tietjen has been developing air brake systems for Kubota tractors since 2005. For this purpose, the machines are delivered directly from the manufacturing plant in Japan via Rotterdam to northern Germany. Here, the correct air brake system is developed for every type of tractor and every equipment option. For the new M6001 Utility series tractors – successors to the MGX IV model range – Kubota once again relied on Tietjen. During a visit to Tietjen in Calle, engineers from Kubota (Deutschland) GmbH discussed details of the new M6 121 Utility tractor model.
